This will never happen, their multiplayer business model depends on people wanting to get the best items as soon as possible, giving them free stuff because of crashes will be shooting themselves in the foot.

This is also the reason I think they are not giving it priority people cant progress via normal game and some end up paying for boxes...

Re: Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer Crashes

I think a lot of the reason we aren't seeing this prioritized (at least publicly) is because they may not know exactly where the bug is coming from.

Some say it's due to memory leak in the code, which could be a long and arduous process to find that leak (I'm guessing) even with the manpower Bioware has. Other folks say bad net code, and I've even seen someone who fixed it by removing a BHO.

Re: Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer Crashes

BHO - browser helper object. It's a plugin utilized by IE primarily, I think. Someone on the Bioware Social Network forum said removing it helped them. Going to try it after work, will report findings/instructions if it somehow works.

But yeah, feels bad. My friends are excited as usual to play the new content and continue grinding for ultra rates. Meanwhile, I haven't played since the first week and my highest class is level 10...hopefully we'll get a fix tomorrow!

Re: Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer Crashes

I'm starting to believe this a marketing ploy to get us to smash controllers and keyboards, as nothing's more frustrating in Andromeda than completing wave 6 gold 3 times and crashing on the last wave each time.
